Hello Ray, If the OpenURL people have concluded that to register new schemes or URN namespaces is very difficult, then I think they are wrong. I think deployment of new schemes/namespaces is difficult, but that's a different issue. For registration, a decent registration document and some thoroughness in following through is mostly what is needed. So I think it would be worth to find out more about whether your suspicion is true, and how it could be corrected. Regards, Martin.
